Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Alcatraz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Diego might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tupac - I'm a Soldier. The crowd seem to be enjoying Alcatraz's choice of entrance music: The Ducky Boys - Break Me. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
